. This year's theme "The Sourc Behind the Force" reflects Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA) ability to deliver American warfighters the right logistics solution in every transaction. This requires more than successful management of the wholesale supplies and suppliers. It requires supply chain excellence. Our military’s ability to generate and sustain combat readiness indefinitely, anywhere on the globe, requires that DLA-managed material flow seamlessly and as needed from the nation’s industrial base to where it is ultimately used. It requires a joint logistics capability that optimizes warfighter support above all else. As the only Logistics Combat Support Agency, DLA has a pivitol leadership role in delivering this capability across the Department. To fulfill this mission, DLA must build on its wholesaler excellence. It must leverage the capabilites being delivered in the agency’s tranformational initiatives, such as BRAC 2005 and the just-completed Business Systems Modernization (BSM) Program - an end-to-end-Enterprise Resource Planning capability managing all of DLA’s 5.2 million hardware and troop support items. We have several keynote speakers from the military services and industry who will provide updates on our customers’ operational requirements, business initiatives, and many other opportunities to obtain the latest news on topics, programs and initiatives of importance to companies interested in doing business with DLA. We look forward to having you join us to exchange information with the Land and Maritime Supply Chains’ leadership and personnel.
